Hello, Melancholic! Vol. 1

Product Information

This did not start the way I thought it was going to. Starting her first year in high school, Minato feels excluded because of her height and social anxiety. She plays the trombone which catches the attention of an upper classmate, Hibiki, who wants her to join the band that she is trying to put together at school. Minato initially refuses, even going as far as to tell why she can't. But Hibiki is insisted. Comic Yurihime August issue announcement" (in Japanese). Ichijinsha. June 18, 2019 . Retrieved July 17, 2023. Which is good, because this is a comic book about music, which is a pretty challenging thing to get by in a purely visual medium, especially with the frankly eclectic makeup of Hibiki's band – drums, trombone, flute, bass, and a single member pulling triple duty on piano, saxophone, and guitar. It's an odd mix of instruments that I imagine would end up sounding like some kind of jazz fusion, but the series never really gets into the nitty and/or gritty of them composing or practicing music. About the deepest you're really going to get here is the first chapter title being a possible reference to a song by The Pillows, because otherwise music here is strictly a means of building character relationships. Band or music nerds looking for a deep dive into the particulars of high school musicians composing or practicing music should best look elsewhere. Estou aqui novamente para comentar sobre mais um romance divertido que li recentemente. E esse foi bem curto. In the context of adolescent extracurriculars, unessential competition has a habit of leeching the fun out of an otherwise whimsical activity and further corrupting the intuition of those whose gifts may inevitably reach a much larger, brighter stage. No club, sport, or event is strong enough to withstand the energies of emergent ego and the subsequent spoilage of youth. But perhaps, if one knows what pitfalls to keep an eye out for, such dangers could be avoided for once.

In my view, music and romance harmonize seamlessly because music has the power to convey the most genuine emotions, surpassing the limitations of mere words. Clearly Hibiki means well, but whether this sort of tough love for Minato’s anxiety is the best approach is a whole other thing. Having always had social anxiety, I can say from my own perspective that this is about as welcome as a bat to the face most times. On July 18, 2019, Ichijinsha released a Power Push reading of the first chapter, featuring Hanayuki Matsumoto as Minato Asano, Natsumi Takamori as Kyosei Sugawa, Masumi Tazawa as Chika Inagaki and Aya Suzaki as Sakiko Arita. [7] Reception [ edit ]

Asano Minato is hiding in plain sight. She’s tall, but she’s very quiet, and very withdrawn. She keeps her hair over her face and her head down. It’s not hard to see that she’s avoiding being seen. While eating lunch alone in her secret spot, she hears what is obviously an instrument. She immediately wonders why, since this high school doesn’t have a band. She knows that…because that’s why she transferred here.

I tried to read this earlier in the year but decided I was not in the mood to read it so I returned it. With the release of the second volume, I thought I would give it another try.It’s the start of high school and Minato is already feeling excluded because of her height and social anxiety. She also plays trombone and that catches the eye of her senpai, Hibiki, who’s putting together a little group. For Minato, however, the very idea is the definition of a band substance. But Hibiki can be persistent and Minato, well, she’s maybe got her own reasons… The series is licensed for an English release in North America by Seven Seas Entertainment.

Hello, Melancholic! ( ハロー、メランコリック！, Harō, Merankorikku! ) is a Japanese yuri manga written and illustrated by Yayoi Ohsawa. It was serialized in Ichijinsha's Comic Yuri Hime from June 2019 to November 2020 and was licensed for an English-language release by Seven Seas Entertainment in 2021. The series follows Minato Asano, a talented trombone player, and Hibiki, an upper-classman who wants her to join the band she's forming at school. Stop me if you've heard this one before: a mopey, socially anxious teenager just can't find the courage to make friends. They're kind and friendly at heart, but feel like an outcast from others who make friends much more easily. Then, out of the blue, a quirky girl their age suddenly appears to sweep them off their feet, encourage them to break out of their shell, and experience the thrills of adolescence they never believed were possible. It's about as standard a setup as you can get with this kind of coming-of-age romantic drama, and I'm certainly not going to pretend it's suddenly fresh and new just because the awkward lead in Hello, Melancholic! is also a girl. This is by and large an extremely familiar story – but that doesn't mean it can't be a good one if told well, and through this first volume, this series is a firmly charming riff on the formula. Berserk Button: Hibiki-sempai aggressively calls Minato a "jerk" when she pointed out that their playing with pros instead of having fun playing music was the same mindset her father had.Delinquents: When Chika first met Sakiko, she tried to go off with a grown man alongside other instances of Troubling Unchildlike Behavior.

As a consequence, the little bits of yuri that poke through here are fairly slight and, yes, we’re clearly at the start of a series so we can’t expect too much, but the chemistry feels strangely not-quite-right and said little bits that do happen don’t feel natural enough. In general, really, there is something just off about Hibiki so far that I can’t quite put my finger on. I like the character, general annoyances aside, but her design or her attitude or some ephemeral thing is just rubbing me the wrong way a bit. It’s not necessarily something that’s easy to express, but the pairing doesn’t feel strong thus far. Minato Asano, a tall but stooping first-year high school student, she makes every effort to blend in with her peers, all the while lugging a trombone around despite the absence of a music groups at school. However, after she caught the eye of an upper-classman named Hibiki, she is persuaded into joining her band.Sendo assim, esse curto romance de duas garotas que entram em um clube de música é extremamente agradável e fofo. Sem muitos plot's complicados ou tramas dramáticas, o enfoque se volta totalmente aos personagens e a música. Hence, this concise tale featuring two girls who venture into the realm of a music club is undeniably pleasing and heartwarming. With a refreshingly simple narrative that steers clear of convoluted plots or melodramatic twists, the spotlight shines brilliantly on the characters and the world of music. When Minato Asano moves to a new high school, she finds herself eating lunch alone whilst being looked at strangely by her peers for carrying around a trombone despite there being no music clubs. Fate would have her meet another girl named Hibiki-sempai who tries to talk her into joining her band. The late night band practice in particular is probably the best section because it feels like everything truly comes fully alive in that moment - the story is very big on music and, as Whisper Me A Love Song ably demonstrated, there are worse hooks to hang a yuri on.
